Brandon Higgs will spend over 20 years behind bars for charges related to the 2018 shooting of a Black man in Reisterstown, a suburb of Baltimore.
Investigators say 60-year-old Elvis Smith and 48-year-old Robert Peete first encountered the 26-year-old white supremacist as they laid concrete for a driveway at a residential home in December 2019. Higgs’ dog somehow got loose and ran across the wet concrete. The two men exchanged angry words with Higgs over the dog. Higgs became so enraged during the confrontation that he returned home and moments later emerged with a loaded gun, The Huffington Post reports.
Investigators say Higgs told Smith and Peete “This is my hood… Black motherf*ckers, go back to Africa.” That’s when a shoving match ensued between Smith and Higgs.

Hi All My Fellow Veterans
It is sad that anyone carries 'Hate' to the extremes this person did. I understand dislike as I have had my share over the past 68 years but skin color has never played a part in it. Twenty-Five years is not near enough time for reflection as to what he did. I hope that Prison Justice will take the upper hand with him. In my youth the death penalty did not stop people from killing but one thing for sure once they were put to death no one else died by their hands! I think calling the death penalty inhumane is what started the downfall of the US society. The US needs to wake the hello up and see the death penalty as the best way to add bleach to the gene pool! Yes I do understand that there were many that were innocent that were put to death in the past but I hope that those who lied and pointed fingers at the other person will have to deal with the results. I SALUTE All My Fellow Veterans!!! GOD Bless America!!!
